Cibo Matto - Viva La Woman (1996)
I didn’t hesitate one second in picking up this fabulous food-fixated first-in-class classic record at Palmerston North’s JB-Hifi during my recent travels.

Various Artists - Pillows And Prayers (1982)
I’ve just spent the last week or so travelling up North between Wellington and Hawkes Bay. After giving up hope of finding any decent stand-alone records shops I found an amazing little treasure trove in Waipawa, Central Hawkes Bay.

Betty Davis - They Say I'm Different (1973)
This is one of those records that would have really frightened the normals. Especially considering it was the early 70’s. It’s sleazy and confronting.

Radiohead - Kid A Mnesia (2022)
Holy Moley where do you start with this?! While hailed as one of the most important rock recordings of all time when they delivered their revered “OK Computer”, Radiohead went even more left field with these evil twins.

Khruangbin - Mordechai Remixes (2021)
I don’t always go for remixes, but this band just screams out for the treatment. While the Khruangbin sound takes a very slight step backwards in the mix it’s a den full of very tasty disco bangers this evening.

Alberfeldy - Young Forever (2004)
This CD sits right at the very top of my collection. OK, alphabetically it’s a given, but musically it’s simply an embarrassment of riches.

Gary Numan - Warriors (1983)
Shit, I’ve heard many worse records than this one. Apart from a little bit too much sax and a funky dance vibe it’s a salvable remnant from the Mr.

Lindsey Buckingham - Lindsey Buckingham (2021)
This is a remarkable comeback record for the 72 year old, ex Fleetwood Mac guitar and song writing maestro. Ousted from the band in 2018, probably mostly by his own doing, and battling major health issues, he’s made a record that could sit alongside those BIG Mac records of the mid-70s.

Broadcast - Haha Sound (2003)
Aside from the impeccable music on this record, the first thing that really strikes you is the quality of the packaging.
